I have some old MAT files that were put in the camera folder with a cm2 extension(poserstyle goods).  I want to rename them & move them to the proper place.  However there are quite a few of them.  Is there a way to mass rename them or am I stuck doing all these individually?

Thanks :)

You can do it through DOS but I honestly can't remember the command; it's been so long since I used it.

There are several file handling utilities which can do what you need.  Here's one I found with a quick browse through Google:

I use "Batch Rename" and it works great. Lots of options on placement etc.

Also, Irfanview does a great job of batch renaming.
